I have to say the past 2 episodes have been more exciting. Usually I can't see an entire episode in one sitting because I get tired of all of the talking, but the past 2 had more action and more scenes with the White Knight . I am sure Yuusha did not sleep a wink while holding the hands of Kishi and Maou lol.

What, people have beem complaining about too much talking? Well I have been enjoying the show heaps, although I guess some people may not be getting what they expected. My favourite bits really are the small bits of fantasy that we get in every so often, mainly the Hero's adventures in the Demon world, how I desire to see even more of the dragon people, fairies, and I quite like his Black Knight armour. I like that he seems to have grown to respecting the Demons too, like with that "Demon Girl", although I think the show was letting it be kind of hard to watch the water Demons get killed with the humans.

I really like it, but some of the parts where they supposedly don't see each other for months kind of ruins it a little, the Hero even has an ability that makes distance even mean nothing. Less harem stuff please. But things like the Female Knight's voice, and the two sisters is great.

It's just a problem I have with anime that spend almost the entire episode just talking. I just lose my interest. Like I had to drop Bakemonogatari because there was just too much talking. Although I did enjoy the first arc with Hitagi.

Bad weather in my area canceled school at the district I work for, so for a rare change I got to see this episode when it first streams. I wasn't disappointed; this was, I think, one of the best episodes so far. Lots of ominous things going on, Hero is starting to show more range, Female Knight managed to finally justify her behavior without seeming completely like she's Hero's love slave wannabe (although we all know she actually is), spoiler[Older Sister Maid is starting to figure out that Head Maid was manipulating her for her own good], and the Mage (Wizard?) finally makes at least a brief appearance. I'm really curious now as to what the deal is with her tripartite appearance.

The next episode's title seems ominous, too. Given what else happens in this episode, I have to wonder if we might finally see one of the scenes from the OP that has yet to be explained come to light.

spoiler[Hero] was really keen on having his party.
Also keen on showing spoiler[his friend] that demons and humans can live in peace.
spoiler[Maou] was having an adventure of her own.
Knight was being weird again...
I really don't get what's up with her.
spoiler[The church and the whole potatoes] thing is ridicules.

I have a feeling that Maoyu will not spoiler[return as the same person and I think that is expected since they mentioned the head maid will kill her if she comes back different, but of course Maoyu won't die]. I assumed that the Merchant was a bad guy, but it turns out he is good since the Yusha showed the Merchant the demon's world.

I was sort of half paying attention with this episode (multitasking isn't my special skill) but how did they found out that spoiler[the potato came from the Demon side?] Glad that Merchant wasn't the total pompous guy he came off to be.

Knight deciding to stay with Hero in a "platonic", business-like way seems to finally get rid of the Love Triangle sub-plot (which was rather tiring to watch in Ep. 7). Perhaps, by the end of the series, Big Sis Maid willspoiler[ leave the Demon King and pursue a life of teaching?] And Little Sis Maid might spoiler[rank into a Chef?]

So spoiler[the Mage] has been found; will she actually contribute something to the story? Hope nothing happens to Demon King likespoiler[ getting possessed by her ancestors (for some reason) and Hero has to save her with the Power of Love. ]

They never did. spoiler[The Pope just declare Crimson Scholar a Heretic and her teaching and crops as blasphemous. Then again, this looks like the work of the White Night King who wants revenge against the Winter King since the latter succeed in liberating Aurora island while he himself have failed.]

We do not know yet, but spoiler[the humans had bases in the demon world: Gate City and the surroundings. The former commander of the Gate City garrison hates the Crimson Scholar and the Winter Country. So the knowledge is plausible from what we know.]

They never did. spoiler[The Pope just declare Crimson Scholar a Heretic and her teaching and crops as blasphemous.

Thanks. I also recall the White Night King [spoiler cursing out the Crimson Scholar[/spoiler] and, since spoiler[she did supported the Winter Prince], it gives him a better motive spoiler[to ruin both their images.]

Of course, if they do find out thatspoiler[ Crimson Scholar is not only a Demon but the actual King], things will get pretty ugly.

yeah, that was a really good episode, setting things up for some hopefully really interesting chain of events later on. I for one am looking forward to seeing Female Knight spoiler[lead an army] if the opening is to be believed.
